Josh Hawkins dc6973dcc2 refactor websockets to remove react-tracked
react 19 removed useReducer eager bailout, which broke react-tracked.

react-tracked works by wrapping state in a JavaScript Proxy. When a component reads state.someField, the proxy records that access. On the next state update, it compares only the fields each component actually touched and skips re-renders if those fields are unchanged. Under the hood, this relies on useReducer — and in React 18, useReducer had an "eager bail-out" that short-circuited rendering when the new state was === to the old state. React 19 removed that optimization, so every dispatch now schedules a render regardless, and the proxy comparison runs too late to prevent it.

useSyncExternalStore is a React primitive (added in 18, stable in 19) designed for exactly this pattern: subscribing to an external store:

useSyncExternalStore(
  subscribe,   // (listener) => unsubscribe — called when the store changes
  getSnapshot  // () => value — returns the current value for this subscriber
)

React calls getSnapshot during render and compares the result with Object.is. If the value is the same reference, the component bails out — no re-render. The key difference from react-tracked is that this bail-out is built into React's reconciler, not bolted on via proxy tricks and useReducer.

The per-topic subscription model makes this efficient. Instead of one global store where every subscriber has to check if their fields changed, each useWs("some/topic", ...) call subscribes only to that topic's listener set. When a message arrives for front_door/detect/state, only components subscribed to that exact topic get their listener fired → React calls their getSnapshot → Object.is compares the value → bail-out if unchanged. Components watching back_yard/detect/state are never even notified.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status
English

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
